Tomorrow begins in the American waters of Miami, the first test of the 49er World Cup season, a decisive year to get the Olympic Square for Spain, facing the Tokyo Olympic Games. Despite the past injury of the pattern, the singing Diego Botín, the team has been perfectly acclimated to the waters of Florida, defeating only a few days ago in the Midwinter Regatta for the second consecutive year, before the world and Europe's champion crews.

The Miami World Cup has a special meaning for the Tank-Marra tandem, as it was the first Isaf World Cup that won as a team just two seasons ago. Among the possible most prominent rivals will be all the crews of the Top 10 World, except the German one... highlighting the champions of Europe and the world, the British team of Fletcher and Bithel, the Austrians Bildstein and Hussl, the Argentines Lange, the Poles Kolodzinski and Przybitek or the Italians Visconti and Togni. The competition will start tomorrow at 17: 00 (Spanish time) with three sleeves of the 12 planned + a medal race on Saturday that will be broadcast live.
